60 Minutes confirms Benghazi is a real scandal, and you’ve been lied to
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10-27-2013 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 10/27/2013 5:24:01 PM PDT by servo1969

60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administration’s failure to protect Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi.

I’ll post the video when available (update – available and added), but the heart of the report is that there were clear and unequivocal warnings which were ignored, and the Obama administration lied about these warnings after the attack.

Hillary and Obama blamed a video and stood by the caskets perpetuating that lie.

And remember how almost all of the media obsessed with Mitt Romney’s statement over Benghazi, and colluded to ask Romney gotcha questions while downplaying and obfuscating what really happened.

60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

Contrary to early WH statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by Al Qaeda against the barely protected American compound

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Security officer Morgan Jones says hrs before the attack, Amb Stevens told him he was worried about security at the Benghazi compound

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


A security official says the attack in #Benghazi was no surprise b/c al Qaeda had posted their plots against U.K. and U.S. online

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


A CIA quick reaction force ignored orders to wait & went into the compound, where they repelled 60 terrorists & saved 5 Americans

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


“You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” a security official says he told Amb Stevens 3 months b/f the assault on the U.S. mission

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs”

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Wow. State Department refused to allow security guards to carry guns at the US mission in Benghazi. (h/t @60Minutes)

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) October 27, 2013


So is our media going to ask @HillaryClinton why she pushed a video story in front of flag draped coffins #60Minutes now says was a lie?

#cbs dropping #Benghazi facts on #60Minutes Quite eye opening

— Philip Gomez (@philgomez) October 27, 2013


Morgan Jones, Brit, trainer of Libyan guard warned the Libyan guards would flee in face of attack, which they did. #Benghazi #60Minutes

Wow. #60Minutes committing a random act of journalism by pointing out #HillaryClinton and @BarackObama's failure in #Benghazi.

Re 60 min: now you know these murderers were crazy angry about that video. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Susan Rice. Thanks Barry.

Watch these videos, and consider the cold hearts that blamed a video for political purposes when they knew it was not true:

I doubt a single thing will be done. I just watched it and thought if we had a real Republican House, we could see something done, but nothing will be done. The next Republican tragedy will be screwing up another election with the loss of Virginia in November. I can’t see any way the Republican party can ever do well again. They just plain suck!!!! Even Cruz who did a great job at first ended up bending over. When will this nightmare end?

So we are thus to deduce that 60 Minutes is now in the tank for Biden ‘16?

Reads like a series of feigning spells that Obama is famous for.

No, it is not a scandal. It is a deliberate atrocity involving murder and treason.

Yes
“I sure wish something would come of this. “
and it must be up to us to keep pressure on our elected pols to NOT let this die
We can do it and there are so many people in Congress who are trying to get the truth out about this

We every Freeper, can call and call and call and this will NOT get brushed aside

I recall the "old news" (Alinsky?) tactic and just got this from an Internet search

Gennifer Flowers was given her five minutes of fame, Clinton admitted to [it]... and thereafter any mention of Clinton's pathological sex life was "old news" and "partisan" . . . .

Don't forget 60MINS helped the Clintons with that one.

Stop being so defeatist. There is momentum on this, especially so with this on 60 min. tonight. Call Boehner’s office and demand that he appoint a special prosecutor!

I watched the first part of this and was shocked to see that See Bs was actually covering and disclosing this info.
This is devastating stuff for Bill Clinton’s whore and Obama.

Not as in-depth as I would have liked, but better than I thought it would be.

Thing is, as I understand it, a Special Prosecutor has to be appointed by Holder. Don’t think that’s going to happen, unless there is great pressure brought to bear on him by...you guessed it, our darling GOP.

The other thing is discovery of inscrutable evidence of misfeasance and cover-up. But again The GOP hasn’t shown that.

Since Obama, Inc. did such an uncommonly competent job with the Obamacare web site, it’s hard to believe they could have done anything stupid in Benghazi!

60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

It took them a year to figure out what most of us knew from the start?

As Mark Steyn recently wrote: do you think we need a congressional oversight committee to look into the effectiveness of congressional oversight committees?
